Somehow I jacked up my lower back. Wasn’t lifting, so maybe it was from a bike ride… or maybe it was one of those mysterious sleeping injuries we seem to get as we get older. 😂 I’ve been walking around like an old man. Advil, ice, and my TENS unit have helped, and today is a lot better than it was three days ago. I haven’t been to the gym in four days, but having a bench and some dumbbells at home has let me make a few adjustments. I’ve been sticking with arms and some light shoulder work while I let my back settle down. The old me would have said, “Screw it,” and done nothing. Not this time. Just making adjustments, staying as consistent as I can, and keeping things moving until I’m back to 100%.

My boss told Me I need to lose weight and get stronger this was a comment at me because I can’t lift heavier than I can which is due to shoulder injury and knee issues. I’ve lost between 30 and 40 lbs and I’ve gotten stronger. My clothes for work are baggy because we havent received new uniforms yet. I hate that society wants me to look a certain way. Some of its age and genetics too.

As of Monday, the book I wrote, Not Done Yet, is available at all the online retail outlets (Amazon, B&N, Walmart, etc.). Since it speaks to people in this group, I would love for you all to grab a copy and offer your thoughts. Trying to get it into brick-and-mortar, but reviews drive that, so insights and help are appreciated. Don't make me beg ;-) You can see them at https://proudboomerbooks.com

My name is victor. I'm 56, and I used to be a pretty active guy. I served in the military for over 25 years, and I have a lot of injuries and things that come with that type of life. I've made that an excuse not to work out, especially with weights. I miss how I used to feel and look, so I'm hoping y'all can help me. I'm currently a minister in the Methodist Church. So, quite often I find myself in the office and at a desk, so having a plan to help me get my body right would be amazing

Hey guys, today is my 68th birthday! I took this week off from work. I’m just about ready to go down to my basement and pump the muscles up. To be honest with you, I feel like laying in the bed and snoozing. But I remember on one of Keith’s videos he said workout anyways, so that’s what I’m going do. I got to push through it.
